The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is working to increase the frequency of the highly anticipated Commitments of Traders (COT) report to twice a week by the end of this year. The report is currently released every Friday and provides a detailed overview of buying and selling in the commodity markets, distinguishing between hedge funds and other asset management firms and commercial trading participants.Producers rely on this report to assist in making hedging decisions, while speculative traders observe market position changes through the data and whether related bets have become overly concentrated. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig stated last week at the agricultural commodity futures conference in Kansas that the plan to increase the report's release frequency stems from demand in the agricultural sector.

According to Slow Fog's disclosure, its security personnel discovered that the script udeskApi.2026-10-16.cached.js related to the Udesk customer service system was implanted with a malicious loader during routine threat intelligence checks. This loader hides the address through hexadecimal encoding and asynchronously loads the remote script deeps.js (sourced from udeskqlobal[.]com, note that the domain name starts with the letter q). This script reads accessible Cookies, localStorage, and sessionStorage on the page, intercepts form and login/authentication requests, and sends data to udeskqlobal[.]com/c.php. Attackers may use this to impersonate sessions or take over accounts. This data collection behavior is not restricted by the target site's rules, and unmatched pages may also be affected.According to Slow Fog's analysis, this script also targets three types of sites: mgbx[.]com, bikingex[.], and bitxex[.]io, scanning the recharge page every 200 milliseconds and replacing identified recharge addresses with preset BTC, EVM, TRON, Solana, LTC, and DOGE addresses. At the same time, the script manipulates the clipboard API, replaces copy buttons, and intercepts copy events, making users see and copy tampered addresses. If users transfer funds to this address, the money will flow into the attacker's address.

According to reports from the Science and Technology Daily, China Information Communication Technologies Group's Optical Communication Technology and Network National Key Laboratory, in collaboration with Pengcheng Laboratory and FiberHome Technologies Group Co., Ltd., has completed a real-time bidirectional transmission test of 3.2 Pb/s multi-core optical fiber, setting a world record for the bidirectional real-time optical transmission capacity of a single fiber. This speed surpasses the 2.5 Pb/s record set by the same team earlier this year, representing an increase of nearly 30%.This speed is equivalent to downloading over 20,000 4K movies in one second or providing gigabit broadband for 3.2 million households simultaneously. The test used a 10.3-kilometer-long 24-core multi-core optical fiber, combined with S+C+L three-band multiplexing and spatial division multiplexing technology. The capacity limit of traditional C+L band commercial single-core G.652 optical fiber is about 100 Tb/s, and the total capacity of this system's single fiber is 32 times that, with the results submitted to the Journal of Lightwave Technology.

According to a report by The New York Times on the evening of the 26th Beijing time, as there are widespread concerns that the United States may soon launch a new round of attacks on Iran, senior representatives from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan held talks with Iranian officials in Tehran on Monday. This visit is the latest initiative in the recent intensive diplomatic efforts by regional mediators.Officials in the Gulf region stated that the talks on Monday aimed to support the efforts of the mediators from Qatar and Pakistan, with the goal of urging Iran to show sufficient flexibility to reach a diplomatic solution with the United States. Two diplomats indicated that the Qatari mediators have been pushing for an agreement between the U.S. and Iran, whereby both sides would make a series of concessions within five days.According to a proposed part of the concession arrangement, Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz to allow commercial vessels to pass, while the United States would lift the maritime blockade on Iranian ports. The main obstacle to reaching an agreement lies in determining when each side would make its concessions. They added that the mediators have been pushing for Iran to make concessions regarding its nuclear program early in the implementation of the agreement.

Seoul police arrested 7 suspects accused of using generative AI to launch hacking attacks. The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency stated that about 90 organizations were involved, collectively stealing 8.2 million records, marking the first large-scale arrest of suspects in AI-assisted hacking attacks in South Korea. The targeted victims included hospitals, universities, private tutoring centers, golf courses, and subsidiaries of large corporate groups, all of which held a significant amount of personal information, including names, contact details, and records of ordinary citizens. One funeral service company lost 1.22 million records, and reports indicated that the tutoring center's data also contained information on minors.According to local media reports, the main suspect, 32 years old, studied arts and sports and has no IT background. He told investigators that he self-taught hacking techniques through YouTube and online blogs, while police pointed out that he had worked in a security company conducting simulated attacks from 2019 to 2022. He initially used website vulnerability scanning tools and later introduced AI coding proxies and an automated penetration testing system called Artex at the end of August. Police stated that he hacked into 60 companies over a span of 44 days from August 31 to October 13.The entire attack operation lasted about 13 months, from September 2025 to this October, and the case was filed in June after a victim reported it. Police indicated that such a large-scale attack previously required a hacker group to accomplish, but AI now allows one person to achieve this in a short time. The suspect sent emails to 38 victims, collectively extorting 360 million Korean won, approximately 272,000 US dollars, but the only confirmed payment was 300,000 won, about 210 dollars. The main suspect was detained and transferred to prosecutors last Friday, facing charges of violating South Korea's Information and Communication Network Act, as well as extortion and attempted extortion.

Google DeepMind researchers Zhengxuan Wu, Yuxuan Li, Oyvind Tafjord, and Been Kim released a preprint paper titled "XYEval: Agents say yes to bad advice," proposing a meta-evaluation framework XYEval to assess the performance of agents when faced with misleading suggestions from users. The paper extends the "XY problem" to the agent scenario, where the user inquires about their attempted solution X rather than the actual problem Y.XYEval retains the original task environment and verifiable answers, only adding seemingly reasonable but misleading user suggestions in the instructions. The misleading suggestions are generated by a generator after seeing the complete task and are appended in the form of confident suggestions rather than hard requirements, allowing the original task to remain solvable. The evaluation covers six benchmarks: τ2-bench, SWE-bench Verified, SWE-bench Pro, Terminal-Bench, Humanity's Last Exam, and MCP-Atlas, along with five models, where the misleading suggestions for τ2-bench are generated based on rules set by human experts.The paper states that the performance significantly declines after the XY mutation, with the relative drop reaching up to 46.7%. On τ2-bench, when faced with users who require a detailed explanation before accepting a better solution, the performance drops even more. Encouraging models to recognize the XY problem through simple system instructions only partially alleviates the issue. The related code is published in the GitHub repository google-deepmind/xyeval.
